Got a call from someone trying to trick me into giving out my personal info. Definitely a scam!

This number showed up as a telemarketer, so I just didn’t pick up and blocked it straight away.

The caller kept saying they’d spoken with my housing officer about repairs, but I own my own place, so I knew right away it was a scam. I can see how someone else might fall for it though.

The moment I picked up, this robotic voice just blurted out "bye" right away.

Tried ringing but no reply, didn't leave a message.

Beware of a scam linked to Binance, coming from this email: [email protected]. Watch out!

Me mam shouted me for tea. I rang back later and she told me we was having spaghetti bolognese. I was proper chuffed!

I got a call from someone pitching some will writing service, tried to convince me to buy it.

Same thing happened to me too, totally a scam.

I didn't pick up but this bloke left a message about Energy or something. I just ended the call straight away.

I have no idea who this number belongs to, never picked up when they called.

Got a call from a young woman asking if I ran my own business. I honestly said no, as I’ve been disabled for the past decade. She just said “ohhhh ok” and hung up on me. Real classy, huh? If anyone else ends up dealing with her, feel free to pass on my regards – not exactly what I’d call good manners. Proper sad behaviour, that.

Definitely a scam, just block it and keep blocking without a second thought.

No message was left by this quiet number, so I just went ahead and blocked it.

Got a call supposedly from Lloyds bank telling me to ring 01832 771478 because PayPal supposedly wanted to set up a direct debit on my account. Thing is, I don’t have a Lloyds account nor use PayPal. Definitely a scam, so I’ve blocked the number now.

Called and it just rang through to the answerphone but nothing was recorded.

I already put this number on my block list. But then it rang twice, right one after the other which I found really strange. What's the point of calling me twice within such a short time? The first call showed up on this app as 29th October around 11:32. Like always, best thing is just to block it and move on.

I picked up the phone and there was nothing but quiet on the other end.

Got a call that my phone marked as possible spam, so I just declined it and went ahead blocked the number. After reading others’ feedback, seems like the system is doing it’s job pretty well.

I got a call from someone claiming I owed money for some surprise charges from Amazon. Totally dodgy!

They said they were from HMRC, but when I questioned them, they said HMRC had hired them and that we had to talk to them. I asked them to name our directors if they were really HMRC, but they couldn’t answer. I also told them that if they were HMRC and we had legal stuff to sort, they could send a letter with the info. They then said they weren’t allowed to send anything in writing. After that, I just ended the call.

Beware of housing disrepair scams, loads on the net about this! These calls get recorded, so don’t be tricked into answering yes or no. Better not let them record your voice, even your voicemail message can get copied. There’s plenty online warning about this AI voice scam. Blocking the numbers normally doesn’t help much, plenty of info out there explaining why. The best thing is to report all these calls to the official police and OfCom services set up by the previous government to track and tackle these scams. You can text the details, even if it’s a silent call, plus the number to 7726. Then you’ll get a text back asking you to confirm - just reply. If your phone has a spam report option, use that too. After that, share your experience here, and you’ve done your bit! Search for 7726 and the email address '[email protected]' to find more info on how to report dodgy calls, texts, and emails.

Picked up a call from a number I didn’t recognise. Heard a woman say hello, but she hung up as soon as I replied.

Got a call that turned out to be a total scam, so I’d say best not to drop a message on their voicemail.

Loads of calls today and when I pick up there's just silence, no 1 speaking. They might be spam or somthin, so I guess I'll flag them as risky. It’s weird, I just stay quiet and see if they start talking, but nope.
